Definitions
- the present invention refers to a person conveying device of quiet operating design having a step belt or pallet belt which is guided in guide rails by transport chains with step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers as well as chain-guide rollers.
- step or palette drive pins connected with the tread elements have step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers which are mounted on ball bearings.
- the design of such rollers must provide assurance of controlled transfer of force from the ball bearing to the plastic travel surface of the roller.
- the object of the invention is to assure a dependably operating and nevertheless inexpensive transfer of the loading forces on the step belt or respectively pallet belt to the guide rail of its tread elements.
- the travel-surface contact of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers is spaced from the lateral guide surface of the guide rail. This result can be obtained in the manner that the rollers have a smaller width in the region of the travel surface than in the region of the central shoulder, either by a reduction in width between the two regions on at least one side or else a symmetrical reduction in width on both sides.
- the chain-guide rollers with lateral guide surface contact have a smaller outside diameter than the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers.
- the chain-guide rolls which are not connected directly with the tread elements but travel on chain pins, supported by plain bearings, in the chain, are customarily made of a polyamide plastic of hard consistency. They serve for the guiding of the chain predominantly in horizontal direction and therefore their side surfaces are in rolling contact with lateral guide surfaces of the guide rail.
- the outside diameter of these rollers can be made smaller than that of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers since, in contradistinction to the latter, they do not have to transmit vertical loading forces of the tread elements. In such case, however, this leads to a further increase in the quietness of the transport chain and thus of the person-conveying device.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of a step or pallet belt
- FIG. 2 shows a portion of a transport chain with chain rollers
- FIGS. 3A and 3B are cross-sectional views showing positions of the rollers on the guide rail.
- the tread plates 1 of a step or pallet belt are guided in guide rails 5, the vertical loading forces on each tread plate 1 of the step or pallet belt being transmitted via driver pins or bolts 2 and step or respectively pallet chain rollers 3 to the travel surface of the guide rail 5.
- the chain guide rollers 4 can also be noted.
- the partial showing in FIG. 2 shows more clearly the installation of the step or respectively pallet chain rollers 3 and of the chain-guide rollers 4 between the inner plates 6a and 6b and the outer plates 7a and 7b respectively of a transport chain.
- the step or respectively pallet chain rollers 3 have as their travel axles the driver pins 2 of each tread plate 1, and the chain guide rollers 4 are mounted on the chain pins 8 of the transport chain. From the figure it can be noted that the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3 are at their travel-surface contact on the guide rail 5 spaced a distance from lateral guide surfaces 9 of the guide rail 5.
- the figure furthermore shows that the ball bearings 10 of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3 are in direct contact with the plastic material of the chain rollers.
- the chain-guide rollers 4 travel with lateral guide-surface contact on the guide surface 9 of the guide rail 5 and have a smaller outside diameter 12 than corresponds to the diameter 13 of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3.
- the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3 are of a smaller width in the travel-surface region 18 than in the central shoulder region 19.
- a reduction in width 20 is provided on at least one side.
- one side of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers is flat and a reduction in width 20 is provided only on one side, or else the same result is obtained by a continuously inclined plane.
- FIG. 3A shows, from a different view, the position of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3 on the guide rail 5; here the distance 11 from the lateral guide surface 9 of the guide rail 5 can be clearly noted.
- the vertical loading forces Q on each tread plate 1 act via a shaft 14, a driver pin 2 and the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3 on the travel surface of the guide rail 5.
- a balustrade 15 has also been shown with a clearance distance 16.
- FIG. 3B shows the corresponding conditions for the chain-guide rollers 4, which travel in contact with the lateral guide surface 9 of the guide rail 5. In this way it is possible to introduce the horizontal loading forces P of the tread plates 1 and the chain-guidance forces into the guide rail 5.
- the chain-guide rollers 4 are provided with a smaller outside diameter 12 than the diameter 13 of the step-chain or respectively pallet-chain rollers 3, then a slight clearance 17, corresponding to the difference in diameters, can temporarily be produced between the chain-guide roller 4 and the surface of the guide rail 5.
